Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2012 Nissan NV Passenger uses both an engine air filter and a cabin air filter, and understanding their differences helps you protect powertrain performance and passenger comfort.

The cabin air filter sits in the HVAC path to remove pollen, dust and road pollutants for a healthier interior environment. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our certified technicians inspect both systems and recommend OEM replacements when needed. We document condition, explain options and provide transparent pricing.
